Bobby Flay Beef Chili

Bobby Flay Beef Chili
Print Recipe

Beef chili is a stew-like dish made with ground beef, tomatoes, beans, chili powder, and spices. Bobby Flay’s version focuses on building flavor with sautéed vegetables, a blend of smoky seasonings, and slow simmering to bring everything together. The result is a thick, flavorful chili that tastes even better the next day.
